There's no reason for any accessory not being allowed in.

As for stuff getting checked, it seems to go on and off. For a while, all my packages were being checked, then over the summer nothing got checked. Could be that Evike etc was sending guns so now CBSA is scrutinizing more.
We have no problem with importing, but the Americans have a problem with exports. Without the proper permits and to satisfy ITAR regulations, many American retailers and manufacturers have just said "Fuck it" to exports. The U.S. State Dept. is really coming down hard on exports. Within a few months, you likely won't even be able to get a new AR into Canada via the retail network. Accessories, especially optics, NV, or anything the U.S. thinks gives them a technological or tactical edge, forget it.

It's funny, we're a willing market in arms and supplies, and for once, the Americans won't sell to us.
